Madelyn had only herself to blame, really, for breaking her aunt's rules.
Her aunt and uncle had been really kind to take her in after her father's death. She didn't have anyone else, after all, and the state hadn't offered any help; eighteen-year-old girls don't have any place in the foster system. They thought she should be able to just go off and live on her own, no matter that she'd spent her whole life in the shelter of her father's rural cabin, learning domestic duties and how to live off the land. She had no idea how to survive in the outside world, how to handle money or use a computer.
So she understood how fortunate she was to be taken in by her Uncle Pete and his family, that she'd been given an opportunity to earn a place on their ranch as long as she worked hard. She was grateful, truly she was.
And she knew the problem she was having was one of a...a sinful nature.
It was reasonable, honestly, very reasonable, that Aunt Bernie asked her to wear the chastity belt. To be sure that Madelyn didn't provide any temptation to Uncle Pete or to her cousin Sam, who was only a few years older than she was.
But it was a difficult change for Madelyn, after so long living alone with her father, having indulged for so long in what she now knew were bad habits. She had become used to engaging in a little private sin whenever her father went out hunting, thinking that a quick prayer after was enough to make up for it, that there was no real harm in exploring her own body.
Now she understood better. She'd spoiled her body, made it expectant of pleasure that should really only come from a husband's touch, from the holy act of procreation.
Aunt Bernie had explained it to her--very sternly and in illuminating detail--when Madelyn had, shamefully, asked for some release from the belt to relieve herself; Aunt Bernie had explained that this torment was only what she deserved, if she'd welcomed the Devil in that way.
"If you're fiddlin' with yourself and there's nobody else there," Aunt Bernie had said severely, "Who do you think you're making hay with, exactly? Certainly not the Lord! You've been going around spreading your legs for Old Scratch and all his army of demons whenever your daddy weren't around to watch you, and now you're paying the price for it. That's all. And I don't want to hear any more about you needing to touch down there. A good faithful girl doesn't need any of that."
So Madelyn hadn't asked again.
But she knew Aunt Bernie had told Uncle Pete--knew from the way he looked at her more critically, shook his head like he was disappointed with what he saw--and that she had told Cousin Sam, who started watching her more closely when they worked on chores together, like he expected her to start trying to sin at any moment, to squat right there in the middle of the yard and start trying to pleasure herself.
It made her blush with shame. Even worse, despite knowing now how wrong her actions had been, the sinful desires lingered.
She tried ignoring it. She tried scolding herself. She tried finding distractions. She tried praying for relief, apologizing tearfully for her sins.
And yet, as the months turned into a year and then to two, her body only ached more acutely.
It became more and more difficult to stay quiet during her nightly hygiene sessions with Aunt Bernie. Madelyn's whole body thrummed with tension as she, under her aunt's close supervision, placed her briefly-unlocked privates under the bathtub faucet to rinse them clean.
This was the only stimulation there that she was ever allowed, and it was excruciating, the way the water would caress her sensitive places and light up all the needful feelings in her. She always felt only seconds away from finishing by the time Aunt Bernie barked at her to turn the water off. It was always a fight not to moan as the water played over her skin, and then a fight all over again not to cry in frustration when the pleasure was taken away again and the metal belt--unpleasantly cold from being rinsed in the sink while she washed--was locked into place once more.
Madelyn had worked up the courage to beg, only once, if there were any other way she could wash herself down there, perhaps with a cloth.
Aunt Bernie had given her a hideously stern look, as if suspecting her of trying to conceal some more insidious motive, and then--to Madelyn's horror--had called in Uncle Pete to fulfill Madelyn's request.
That had been awful. She'd been made to stand in the shower and spread her legs so that her uncle could massage between them with a soaped-up washcloth.
As Aunt Bernie had likely anticipated, the very idea of her strong, no-nonsense Uncle Pete knowing of her continued struggles with sin was deeply mortifying to Madelyn; so she had grit her teeth and forced herself to remain stock-still the entire time, staring resolutely at the ceiling and fighting with every last drop of willpower against the powerful urge to twitch and grind her hips into the delicious pressure of his hand, the rippling texture of the cloth.
It had nearly been a disaster. Every drag of his hand had brought her closer and closer to an accident, and yet she'd been too humiliated to asked him to stop--because then she would have to explain why, and she kept thinking that surely, surely he was about to stop anyway--until she was on the very edge, taking long, deep breaths to keep from flinching and trembling, grappling dizzily with the thought of what she would say to her uncle if she lost control of herself and had a messy finish all over his hand like a whore.
With the question of whether it would be worth it, to finally have the pleasure and the relief.
And when he had finally stopped, she had been so overwrought that she cried out before she could stop herself, her whole body swaying forward to try and follow his retreating fingers, because she had been only seconds away from completion.
She had been lashed firmly across the rump with a leather strap for that, her aunt scolding her up and down for finding a way to use the measly five minutes out of her belt to try and seduce her own uncle. The torture of the lashing had been exquisite, the sensation somehow marrying with the thudding, urgent need in her sex until she felt as if the pain itself was transmuting to pleasure and she had to brace herself against humping her hips shamefully into what was meant to be a punishment.

Eventually, Madelyn began to feel hopeless, to wonder if she hadn't ruined herself forever. After two years under her aunt and uncle's supervision, the aching hadn't subsided at all, and she was beginning to have thoughts that she knew were shamefully depraved.
